Brother’s Diner 1

This is the worse place I’ve ever eaten! Last month I went here for dessert and coffee at a friend’s request and the dessert — Cannoli Cake — was utterly flavorless. But since it was late I thought maybe it was me, so I tried again YESTERDAY (at the request of the same friend). This time I ordered french toast with a side of scrambled eggs with swiss — you can’t mess that up, right? WRONG! The french toast was either cooked too long or something because the bread was too hard and so, so tasteless that even the syrup didn’t help. The eggs were not hot although the plate was and they were underdone underneath. I was beyond pissed! And that’s just the food.
Now, onto our waitress, Jenny. I only remember one time in my adult life that I have gotten worse service. When I asked for a saucer for my coffee cup she said she would have to check to see IF THEY HAD ANY but then she decided to dump our mini creamers onto the table and give me that saucer. Now I ask you — whoever heard of a diner that does not have saucers for their coffee cups? Then she seemed a bit huffy when we didn’t order fast enough. But since I was with a few people I didn’t know I didn’t say anything; I did tell my friend later that I was very unhappy and I could not go back there again. Depending on certain circumstances, I usually give an eatery three tries before packing it in but unless I get amnesia I’m never setting foot in this place again!
The only thing I can say is that the place is very clean and the coffee good but the food is just awful! I only wish I could give NO STARS!

So this place has been in town for a while and I avoid it for a reason. First of all, when I called to order a short stack and a side of turkey sausage the total was over nine dollars. That absolutely blew my mind. now I know people that go there only because they do not want to drive out anywhere else. I decided to go there with my mother for lunch yesterday because that is where she wanted to go because it wasn’t far. And again as usual the food is sub par. It is frozen and not well seasoned at all. I really do not understand why they cannot prepare fresher food, expecially hand make burgers when that is a big item. Now I will say I have had the soup there a couple of times and it was tasty. my suggestion to people would be for them to take an extra 10 minutes and go to a different diner.

We’ve never had a bad experience here! The food is always hot and tasty, the staff always chatty and kind. Try their Philly cheesesteak and paninis!

It’s just okay, breakfast food is their better suit. The food is very cafeteria style and kinda seems like previously prepared food. Wait staff is touch and go… don’t expect a whole lot. It’s good for meeting friends for lunch or having a meeting being as its so close to JBMDL

I used to eat breakfast here when in town. Consistent problem with breakfast request — extra crispy on the potatoes! Always not honored, always an excuse — its very busy right now, cook didn’t listen, but today was the worst. Not crispy, diner not busy — cook told waitress the potatoes are new, if I want them crispy, he will put them back on the grill — one problem — omelet will get cold. He acknowledged ignoring the request — so there! Closed for months last winter — apparently turned the heat off during near zero temperatures! Broken light fixture over counter not fixed for many months now. Recently eliminated specified discounts (e.g. senior citizens). Complaint at the register and statement that I would not return elicited the response «okay!» No apologies, no discounts, no promises that it would not occur again — nothing! Food okay but not great, a bit pricy except for breakfast. A business on the downward slope. Waitress staff usually polite.

Have eaten breakfast here a few times but this past Sunday was the best. Eggs bacon hash browns and creamed chipped beef. Everything was hot and fresh and good portions are good for the price. I’ve also tried dinner once. Not too impressive. But they make a nice French onion soup

Stopped here for lunch with my husband after a day out at the Flea Market in Columbus. He informed me he’d been here a few times for a work lunch.
The first thing I noticed was that the place was VERY clean, considering how many diners I have been to in my entire life. There was the standard cake display, but it looked like everything was fresh and very appealing to the eye. There was a HUGE «Specials» board that was clearly visible upon walking in, and everything on it sounded great.
I wound up ordering one of the specials, Split Pea Soup and the Corned Beef Sub. Our waitress was really quite nice and very friendly, albeit a bit nervous, it seemed. Not sure if she was new or not. But she did a great job for the most part.
My husband ordered the French Onion Soup and a Monte Cristo. While my soup came out very quickly, his took a few minutes extra. Once it got there, it was pretty clear they were busy making his soup in the back, as it looked like the cheese was freshly broiled over the top. My soup was just okay-​not exactly how I am used to eating it. There was croutons in it, which I did say was okay to put in, but there were no pieces of peas or any ham. It was quite bland, but edible.
My husband slurped his soup right up, so I knew it was fine for his standards.
My sub was pretty tasty, but the best way I can explain it is it was as if I went to a friend’s home and they just made me a sandwich with their dinner leftovers. I mean this as a compliment, please don’t misunderstand. But still, it was kind of «plain». The corned beef was room temperature; I would have preferred it to be a bit warmer. I will say the fries that it came with tasted VERY good, and I don’t think I had a single one left on my plate.
My husband’s portion was HUGE for his monte cristo. He ate the entire thing, and loved it. Since it’s a diner-​staple, he seemed happy with the turnout.
Overall, the service was good, the food was not bad, and the place was clean. I have no complaints at all. It’s not a mind-​blowing diner, but if you are looking for a quick bite and something basic, this is the place.

Food is usually dry and unsatisfying. Service is normally rude from who I assume is the owner. Go anywhere else!

Hmmm… we’ve given this place too many chances and they haven’t really delivered at all. Once I ordered the eggs Benedict and asked the waitress is the sauce was homemade or from a packet. She didn’t know so she had to go as and low and behold, it was from a packet. Needless to say it was gross. Another time I had the smothered chicken. The chicken was dry, the gravy was flavorless, probably another packet, and it had Kraft singles on top that weren’t even melted. I really wanted to like this place but it keeps letting me down. It would be a LAST RESORT! THE FOOD IS NOT HOMEMADE.

There isn’t much to eat in this town so having a small diner is nice. I’ve ever only gone for breakfast and each time it has been pretty good. It’s the normal diner foods and I enjoy stopping in for breakfast when I’m in town. Pancakes are pretty good but I wouldn’t suggest getting strawberries on them, they weren’t that great. The service is good, our waitress was nice. The inside is clean, not dirty like most diners I’ve been to.
I will probably go again for breakfast or lunch if I don’t want to drive too far.
